I am so very thankful for all of the gifts the Good Lord has blessed me with.

I am usually the photographer so my pictures are rare so I just realized that I had asked Denny to take a photo of me so here is one. My new dive camera from Sea life reef camera arrived this week and Sea Life cameras gave me a real good price. They are always kind to work with and I enjoy the quality of their cameras and love their personal services.

This is the 3rd firing for the year...This was firing #535. It was a beautiful day for a kiln firing. Very low win and slight air pressure . But only time will tell. how they turn out. Thursday I will see . I have been a professional potter since 1977 and I still love it every day. I get tired from it but I never get tired of it.
